j. Project issue:

To develop materials and techniques for influencing
human behavior as one means of achieving clandestine
intelligence objectives. Specifically, to conduct re-
search and development work that will enable Agency
personnel to:

(a) Belter understand the factors which cause
individuals to defect, commit treason or
change loyalties.

(b) Develop skills by which potential defectors

can be detected.

(c) Develop methods for increasing the chances ■
of defection of various. target individuals.

2. Scientific obicctives of til*}

Project II.

To systematically study defection iu order to:

(a) Define the psychological characteristics of

individuals who have defected, with particular

empnasis

sis on the interaction of the psychological

and situational factors acting at the time of
their defection.

(b) Define the circumstances under which men
have defected from military, political,
religious, social and cultural groups and
evaluate the factors appearing to influence
such defections.

(c) Study individuals who have maintained loyalty
in the face of persistent, sustained attempts
to charge, affect and alter this loyalty and

and evaluating as much as possible of the pertinent information
pn the subject of defection viewed as an historical, sociological
and psychological phenomenon; (o) examining a sample of

i

known defectors and known resistors according to predetermined
methods (medical, psychiatric, sociological and psychological);

(c) systematically and objectively recording the results of such
examinations; and (d) collating and evaluating the data obtained
•in order to determine significant differences, isolate important
characteristics and test comparative methods for determining
these differences and characteristics.

3, Status; A working group, primarily composed of professionals
formerly engaged in .the "Brainwashing" and "Chinese Cultural"
studies has been formed, Much of the material already col-
lected in these studies has applicability to toe proposed study
